The women of "The View" chewed out Ben Carson for his support for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump during a fiery Thursday interview.

"You're Ben Carson! You're so much better than this!" a flustered Whoopi Goldberg told the neurosurgeon, who struggled to defend the hate-spewing billionaire and dodged questions about the candidate's racist rhetoric.

As the other hosts peppered the bumbling former presidential hopeful with questions about Trump's views on women, Carson admitted he doesn't condone everything the candidate says — but maintained his support for the boisterous businessman.

In the middle of the tense discussion, Trump himself attacked the talk show.

"Explain how the women on The View, which is a total disaster since the great Barbara Walters left, ever got their jobs. @abc is wasting time," he wrote.

The two-segment interview began cordially as Carson explained why he endorsed Trump after he halted his own bid for the White House.

Carson rebutted that he chooses to look "at the big picture" and supports Trump for the candidate's alleged ability to take on Washington insiders: Trump has his faults, Carson said, but "there is no perfect person."

"You have to look at the good and the bad," the soft-spoken doctor said.

Goldberg could not accept that explanation.

"I'm sorry. He's a racist, and he's not good for the country," Goldberg barked. "And I'm sorry, I just don't understand."

She became increasingly flustered, waving her hands and stuttering as she pointed out that Trump did not swiftly disavow endorsements from white supremacists.

Then, Joy Behar dug in at the surgeon.

"If you're going to overlook the things he says about women, and you're going to overlook the things he said about African-Americans, what about the things he said about you?" she asked. "He even compared you to a child molester … Unless you say you're a child molester, he's a liar."

Carson agreed that Trump lied — but justified it by adding that all politicians lie.

"I do not condone any of that, I don't condone it from anybody, " he said before again vowing his support for the tycoon.

After the break, the hosts asked Carson how he'd react if Trump spoke about the doctor's wife the way he has spoken about other women. The Republican again affirmed that Trump is the best candidate, despite his tone.

"When I dropped out, my first choice went with me," Carson said. (The View)

"When you're very nice, respectful, you talk about the real issues ... Where does it get you? It gets you where it got me: nowhere," he said. "My point is he and some of the other politicians, they do what people want. They say what people want to hear."
